The Apple Tree is a three act musical with three different parts: the first being based on Mark Twain's The Diary of Adam and Eve, the second based on Frank R. Stockton's The Lady or the Tiger? and the third based off Passionella by Jules Feiffer. Each has its own story line, but all are tied together by the common theme of the relationship between man and woman, common musical themes, and common references such as "Why Brown?" The musical opened on October 18, 1966, at the Shubert Theatre (in New York), and ran for 463 performances, closing on November 25, 1967. It originally starred Barbara Harris(who won a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for the role), Alan Alda, and Larry Blyden. The Apple Tree also received several other major Tony nominations: Alda for Best Actor in a Musical, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick for Best Composer and Lyricist, Mike Nichols for Best Direction of a Musical, Lee Theodore for Best Choreography, and the show itself for Best Musical. The Roundabout Theatre Company, one of New York’s largest not-for-profit theatre companies, mounted a revival in December 2006 with Kristin Chenoweth, Brian D'Arcy James in Alda's roles and Marc Kudisch in Blyden's. The reviews commonly say the musical is a bit dated but Chenoweth's performance is a marvel that keeps audiences coming. The revival of the Apple Tree came a close March 11,2007.

Get the spicy apple pie mug.A quantum apple is edible and tasty. Each single one of them, may display a variety of potential flavours. Due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle when it gets bitten it's wave function collapses as one of the allowable flavours. One cannot predict it's taste before he/she causes the collapse of it's wave function via tasting the apple, because quantum potentiality is a fundamental quality of nature.
